Well im getting ready to clean and polish my TH400. I know your not supposed to polish it b/c the trans wont be a ble to disipate heat as well but i wont be running it that hard, so im not to concerned. Pretty much doing it for the looks.

So i want to know what kind of degreaser you can use to clean the aluminum? I want to use something like the gallon of parts cleaner you buy athe parts store. Just dip it in there for a few hours and rinse off. Ive been using that purple power stuff and it works on the large flat areas but it doesnt work too well in the crevices where its caked up. Ive reaplied a few time but its still dirty. And it seems to just spread the oil around instead of neutralizing and getting rid of it.

Now once i get it clean, whats the best way of polishing the trans? Been thinking of using finer and finer scoth-brite pads on my grinder on the flats and using poishing cones in the tighter areas. And what kind of compound do i use when doing the final polish?

THanks,
John
